Not only is the land preserved in Dominica, but the people and culture as well. Dominica has the largest population of Kalinago Indians, descendants of the population that once dominated the Caribbean islands. With protected territory like Kalinago Barana Aute, there is a strong interest in preservation of the culture. Cultural center tours are available for the history buffs in your group, and even if you’re not, it’s worth a hike through the beautiful lands and a visit to see Kalinago women at work making beautiful basket crafts in traditional methods — and you can purchase them!
